Batch job language

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Alex Gisbert 70

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if a batch job takes its language when running from another place rather than the user, company or system language.

I am filling a string with a label (already created both in english and spanish) launching a batch job and even though I have set my user, company and system language in spanish, it uses english. This doesn't happen when I launch the process without a batch job.

As a workaround I forced the language of the user in the label, but I'd like to know why this happens.

Greetings.

Alex.

    These three infos will return 'es':

    info("Company: " + CompanyInfo::languageId());

    info("User: " + new xInfo().language());

    info("System: " + SystemParameters::getSystemLanguageId());

    But, this will return the label in english:

    MyTable.Txt = "@MyLabels:LabelText";

    And this will return it in spanish:

    MyTable.Txt = SysLabel::labelId2String(literalstr("@MyLabels:LabelText"), 'es');

    A Batch Job keeps running under the account of the user who started the Job. So, the System takes the language of this user (who started).

    The example shared by Nikolaos, as to Reports is correct. But the reason why it takes a specific language is because, it uses the explicit conversion SysLabel::labelId2String(literalStr("labelId"), languageId)

    I recommend you to use this conversion in your Batch Job as well, so as to get desired language Labels.

    A good example to refer this in Standard AX is SalesInvoiceController.documentTitle()

    To my understanding it should use the user's language.

    But in some places, like some printouts, it could use the customer / vendor language.

    Could you share more details about your solution, such as the x++ code where you use the label?
